Hvis du troede at den kommende Fallout-serie på Amazon havde en mere direkte forbindelse til Bethesdas eksisterende spil, så kan du godt tro om. Ligesom så mange andre fortolkninger af spil, så vælger serien at tage udgangspunkt i det univers, men samtidig fortælle en helt ny historie.
I den seneste udgave af Lex Fridman-podcastet fortæller Todd Howard, at serien går sin egen vej:
"When people wanted to make a movie they wanted to tell the story of Fallout 3 or tell the story of Fallout 4, and it was meh. For this it was, 'hey let's do something that exists within the world of Fallout. It's not retelling a game story. It's basically an area of the map. Let's tell a story here that fits in the world that we have built, doesn't break any of the rules, can reference things in the games, but isn't a retelling of the games. [It] exists in the same world but is its own unique thing, so it adds to it. While also, people who haven't played the games, who can't experience how crazy cool Fallout is, can watch the series."
Det lader faktisk til at Fallout-showet er ret tæt på at udkomme, men det vides ikke specifikt hvornår.
